Gadget Travel Precautions

We ask that you take the following precautions, to ensure we can help in the event of a claim;

Please keep evidence of ownership or proof of purchase for your gadgets, so you can provide in the event of a claim (for example a till receipt).

Please do not leave your gadget unattended, for example in your car or checked-in baggage.

When leaving gadgets in your accommodation, we advise locking them in a safe or hiding out of sight.

In the event of loss or theft please report to the police, your carrier or tour operator’s representative, and obtain a local independent written report. In the case of mobile phones, please also notify your service provider and ask them to blacklist your phone.

The gadget section of our policies is administered by gadget specialists Bastion Insurance Services Ltd (who are underwritten by UK General Insurance Limited on behalf of Great Lakes Insurance SE,) to offer specialist gadget travel cover on every Postcard policy.
